Minerals Extreme Mod
~A simple, yet unique aspect to your Minecraft Surivial Exprerience~
Before we begin I'd like to mention that there are loads of mods that seem similar to this, but I intend, through development, to make this mod unique, while keeping it simple. In my opinion Minecraft lacks lots of Minerals that are present in the real world, this mod is supposed to implement said minerals in a simple way, adding simply the ore, block, ingot, and tool set into the game. No fancy Mineral crushers or anything like that, you can either craft the ore into the ingot, or use the good ol' furnace and smelt the ore. Although this seems lame, I intend to add armour and some other nifty features in the future, remember, we are in alpha, I still recommend you download it and try it out, it's pretty fun. (I even left a cool easter egg regarding dirt wink wink)
The Minerals:
There's only a few minerals at the moment, but as I continue development, I will add more (for reference I work on this every day, you can expect releases very quickly.
Poop (Feces, Shiz, whatever you wanna call it, in the code I named it poop)
Our old friends, the dinosaurs, surely have their droppings buried deep in the ground, right? Sure, they've been surrounded by stone over time, being formed into an ore, waiting to be uncovered. Whether it's a cow's droppings, or prehistoric droppings, you'll surely find some on your mining trips. It's brown, and sometimes bloody, but the natural aroma can kill a mob on on the first swing of the sword.
Poop Pickaxe
It's soft, stinky, but through crafting a pick out of it, we can harness that power and break blocks at the blink of an eye, but the brown feces can only withstand so much, after a few blocks being broken, the brown heap of gunk drops off the stick, and is done for. However, we can petrify the poop in stone, making the Petrified Poop Pickaxe. It breaks blocks much slower, but it's still faster than a stone pick, and it lasts much longer. It breaks blocks slower because the aroma we were harnessing is trapped within the stone we surrounded it in.
Poop Axe
It's the same deal with the pickaxe, break blocks at the blink of an eye, but unless you carry multiple axes, it'll break before you get through your first tree, but petrify it, and it'll last you through a whole logging trip.
Poop Shovel
Break through those dirt blocks - and it's broken. Petrify it, and it'll last you long enough to dig out that underground house you were gonna build.
Poop Sword
This thing may seem overpowered, but once it breaks after killing 5 zombies with one hit, you'll realize it's trash. However you can petrify it and it'll feel almost like a diamond sword, until you break through around 40 zombies and you look at the health of it.
Poop Hoe
I'm not even gonna make this, a wooden hoe does the exact same thing as a diamond one, so why would this one be any different. Perhaps when this mod gets attention, I'll work on a special use for the hoes, one that differs from the vanilla hoes.
Poop Block
Yes, you can make blocks out of the ingots, just like you can make an Iron block from 9 iron ingots.
Tin
Good ol' tin, we drink soda out of tin cans, tin is very useful, but why can't it be useful in MC?
Well, you know how tin can be sharp, especially in cans? Well, this gives a special advantage on two certain items...
Tin Pickaxe
This isn't one of those certain items I was talking about, heh heh, but this is a pretty basic pickaxe, it gets the job done and it's quite durable, but not too durable, tin isn't very durable at all. It does have a cool texture tho.
Tin Axe
Now here's where it get special, this axe, has a very sharp blade, it doesn't aid in cutting trees very much, but you can beat some mobs pretty well with this guy, it doubles as a pretty cool battle axe, well, until it breaks in the middle of said battle, it'll last you maybe 110 hits are so.
Tin Shovel
Very basic shovel, breaks dirt pretty fast, but it's nothing special.
Tin Sword
Obviously this sword is going to have quite the advantage with those sharp edges, make your enemies bleed at sight, and their iron swords won't stand a chance!

"Public Alpha"
How do you make a ores-and-tools mod an alpha O.o
I guess you'll be trying to do special stuff on each material... I suggest you to not just do a tool and armor set for everything (poop tools...).
Yeah, I have bigger plans, but for now, I'll be working on the simpler stuff, and later I might add in other dimensions and some other cool stuff.
